Fast Track Stakeholder Comments
Comments from Fast Track Teachers at the July 2004
National PD Event
“Overall, the conference has been a superb opportunity for
my own PD. The friendliness and willingness of
all involved has made it a unique experience. My only hope is that
more teachers can have access to such
a powerful and rich portfolio of tools for supporting personal
growth. Well done to all concerned – Many,
many thanks”.
Comment from a Facilitator at the July 2004 National PD
Event
“It was a great conference and I was delighted to be
involved. There are some really outstanding people on
the Fast Track Teaching programme now and I shall watch with
interest as they begin to make their mark on the
education scene”.
Comment from Fast Track teachers’ Questionnaire Summer
2005
“My status as a Fast Track teacher certainly helped in my
appointment. The school is very enthusiastic
about the scheme”.
Comment from Fast Track teacher Winter 2005
“As a regular teacher there is a danger you will learn your
subject within the first few years of teaching
and then continue to teach the same way and the same topics for the
next 20 years. This is not the case
with the Fast Track Teaching programme, because you are always
encouraged to innovate and change your teaching
styles”.
Comment from Liz Robinson, the first Fast Track teacher
to become Headteacher
“Since becoming a teacher I have always wanted to be a head
and the leadership and management training,
coupled with the individual support offered by the Fast Track
Teaching programme has allowed me to realise my
potential
as early as possible”.
Comments from Mentors at Spring 2006 Mentor Induction
Event
“Excellent – motivated myself and Fast Track teacher, and
not only for Fast Track orientated subject matter”.
“The coaching/mentoring ideas were great transferable
skills. Great interactivity and experiments! Really
thought provoking”.
“I feel much more equipped and positive about the programme
and the ways in which I can support my Fast
Track teacher”.
“Exceeded my expectations. It was very useful from both a
reflective and practical point of view. It has been
very valuable to have time with both mentors and Fast Track
teachers”.
